The new UNS R80 is an aesthetic and functional masterpiece featuring a central overflow with four return lines on each face of the overflow box, allowing for full system flow in every direction. The unit has a one-year warranty and retails for $3,049.99. It is currently available here at buceplant.com

It comes with frag racks designed to optimize the space as efficiently as possible. It also has a patent-pending aluminum stand. Organization-wise, this system has it all—sliding drawers, an electrical tower, regions to mount controllers, and places to place dosing containers. Another feature I like immensely is that the sump is nearly completely sealed, which helps keep salt creep at bay, eliminating another maintenance aspect. I wish more manufacturers designed sumps like this. The glass sump also has a built-in ATO reservoir.

All in all, this system represents an innovative design perfectly combining form and function. I expect to see this unit in many retail spaces, as it’s quite attractive. It has been nice to see an aesthetic-forward company such as UNS, known for their stunning freshwater hardware, enter the saltwater market and continue to push the envelope with their designs.
Hey Salem, I have some questions to ask about the biome of feeding live foods like mussels and how that may influence bacteria biome etc. In the reef aquarium. Maybe you should start a thread on Humble.fish as an AMA. I know you answer alot of questions int he lives but for those that miss the lives and have questions it would be great to pick your brain.
